You already have the content. The bottleneck is restructuring it from a document people skim into a course people complete. This prompt chain does the restructuring: it extracts the core concepts, sequences them for learning, writes module scripts, and builds retention quizzes. Use it on ebooks, whitepapers, SOPs, research reports, or any long-form asset you want to monetize or use for lead generation. ### How to use

Run the Extraction prompt with the full PDF text. Review the outline. Then run the Module Script prompt for each section. Run the Quiz prompt last.

Step 1: Extract and Structure
I'm going to paste a document. Restructure it as a learner-friendly course outline. Do not summarize, reorganize. Output:
- Course title and tagline
- Learning outcome (one sentence: 'After this course, learners will be able to...')
- 4-6 modules, each with: module title, 2-3 lessons, one key concept per lesson
- Recommended format per module: video / reading / exercise / quiz Organize for progressive learning: start with mindset or foundation, build toward application, end with an action the learner can take immediately. Document:

Step 2: Module Script
Write a teaching script for Module [NUMBER]: [MODULE TITLE] from the course outline above. Structure:
- Hook (30 seconds): bold claim or surprising fact that makes them lean in
- Core concept (2-3 minutes): explain the idea simply, one analogy
- Why it matters (1 minute): connect to their real situation
- How to apply it (2-3 minutes): step-by-step, concrete
- Common mistake (30 seconds): what most people get wrong here
- Close (30 seconds): bridge to next module Write as spoken word, short sentences, contractions, no jargon. Total script: 600-800 words.
Step 3: Quiz Builder
Write a 5-question comprehension quiz for Module [NUMBER]: [MODULE TITLE]. For each question:
- Question (scenario-based, not trivia)
- 4 answer choices (A-D)
- Correct answer
- One-sentence explanation of why that answer is correct Make questions test application, not recall. 'What would you do if...' is better than 'What is the definition of...'. Include one trick question that catches a common misconception from this module.
